OFFICIAL 2015-2016 College Football Season Thread

[nako xl]

I've been meaning to ask, who's playing QB for Oregon next year?

Adams is out of eligibility right? Is there a clear starter next season? Travis Johnson?

Golden getting a hard look from Rutgers.

Orgeron talking to USC.

I need UVA to hurry up and hire Tom Herman so he doesn't end up at UCLA or Cal

Awesome story about Mark Dantonio and Rowan Fitzsimmons on Dan LeBatard show (first seven or so minutes of the show):  http://m.espn.go.com/general/play?id=14236047&cast=9941853

Alexander confirms reports that the final decision on Miles’ future did not come until after a halftime meeting during the Nov. 29 game against Texas A&M, though he says the decision had “pretty much been made” a few days earlier. Among those in the halftime meeting were Alexander, Athletic Director Joe Alleva, and several members of the LSU Board of Supervisors.

“It was a combination of factors and a decision that we made collectively,” Alexander says. “We weighed all the factors in all this and it was a joint decision between many of our board members, our AD and many of us decided this was the wrong time and wrong place (to replace Miles.)”

Alexander acknowledges that concerns over the exorbitant cost of buying out Miles’ contract—$15 million plus an additional $2 million for his coaching staff—and hiring a new coach factored heavily into the decision, though he says money was not the only determinant.

“After the type of budget battle we went through this past spring we certainly do not need to be throwing tens of millions of dollars around under certain circumstances,” he says. “We don’t need to go into the next legislative session with a black eye that we’re throwing tens of millions of dollars around on issues that aren’t associated with academic progress.”

Alexander goes on to say that “we’re focused on the university as a whole, the students as a whole, and that was a very costly direction we were headed in and under the circumstances we felt it was not the prudent decision to make.”

No university funds would have been used to buy out Miles’ contract. However, Alexander, who has been a tireless advocate of increased state support for higher education, says many in the general public—and even the Legislature—fail to understand that distinction.

“The public at large really doesn’t differentiate where the money comes from,” he says. “No matter how you explain it, it’s still a $15 million to $25 million decision that needs to be factored into the overall equation.”

Travis Jonsen is next up....but we just signed 3 QB's in this upcoming class so who knows.

All signs point to Jonsen though, Orange County kid from Servite..killed it in the Trinity league. I'm excited, especially with most of our skill guys coming back.

Just was told that Will Muschamp will be the next head coach of South Carolina barring something unexpected occurring per a reliable source.

Unbelievable. We bout to return to 90s East when only UF and Tenn were good.

I actually think that Golden may be solid in the B1G. Much better fit.  D'Nofrio against that OSU offense will be hilarious, though. Durkin is trying to bring that offense too.

Bidding war between Auburn & Bama for Pruitt?

Yards given up don't matter!

[Trey Bantz]

Yeah I think Al will do well at Rutgers, he's a New Jersey guy who recruits well in that area.

 

[NickFolarin]

As a Florida fan, South Carolina STAY AWAY from Muschamp

......

On second though.... 

As a Florida fan, South Carolina HIRE from Muschamp

 

[NickFolarin]

As far as Miami, Mark Richt will definitely turn the culture around, build a winning program, and bring the a great recruiting class, however over time he uses those things (and his great personality) as a reason not to get fired. At UGA, the feeling in Georgia by many fans was that he became complacent with the occasional SEC Championship visit.

What does Dan Mullen do now? Go back to Miss St?

What does Dan Mullen do now? Go back to Miss St?

IDK. He put himself in an awkward situation.

Pray that ND opens up.
